Mastic sealing in Snargate, done properly
For blocks and buildings in Snargate and across Kent, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. Most enquiries involve leaks at window and door perimeters and draughts at frames across a block, across balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Snargate, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Snargate, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Snargate as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Your questions answered
Is Snargate too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Planned mastic for Snargate portfolios
At about 52 miles from central London, Snargate is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. Snargate sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
If you are responsible for a building such as Church of St Dunstan, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Appledore (Kent) station (1.1 miles north-west of Snargate) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Snargate is about 8 miles south of Ashford, in Kent. We send applicators to Snargate for mastic joints. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. Sites around Brighton have their own page, roughly 44 miles from Snargate.

On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like Snargate are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Halls, stores and units around places like Snargate may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
